Asynchronous programming is simply allowing some portions of code to be executed simultaneously. It may involve running them in separate threads, or on in one thread in case of coroutines.

It makes your applications perform better, be more responsive, and use the resources of the system they are running on to the fullest extent.
The asynchronous tag is generic and not limited to any programming language. For example, some languages define this term differently (e.g. JavaScript is written for engines that are single-threaded processes and therefore preclude the use of separate threads).
